HC Deb 21 February 1957 vol 565 c84W
66. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education what steps he intends to take to encourage the appreciation of poetry in schools.

Sir E. Boyle

"The honourable Gentleman should know

Poetry's garden must untended grow.

Though precept's good, example's better still

For those who climb Parnassus' stony hill.

So let the example of my noble Friend

To English verse fresh inspiration lend."
